Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Stir together rolled oats, whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, shredded coconut, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl, then toss in the dried apricots and cranberries.
  2. Pour honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla over the dry ingredients and stir for about 1 minute until no dry patches remain and the mixture is evenly damp.
  3. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin, scoop about 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture into each cup, and press down firmly with your thumb so each portion is compact and flat on top.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 13 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the tops look dry and set.
  5. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then run a knife around each cup and turn the bites out onto a wire rack. Arrange on a plate or board with the golden undersides up and serve at room temperature.

Notes

These taste best after they've had a few hours to firm up, so if you can bake them the night before, do it. The texture goes from soft and a little fragile right out of the oven to dense and chewy by morning. They keep well in the fridge for up to 10 days, and the flavor actually improves on day 2 and 3 as the dried fruit softens into the oats.
